Peter Trosztmer – Eesti: “Myths and Machines”

MYTHS AND MACHINES

Usine C

1345, ave Lalonde, Montreal

(514) 521-4198

"This is the story of how my family came to Canada … This is absolutely nothing like how my family came to Canada."

Inspired by the "mythical" stories of my grandfather’s escape from Estonia, "Myths and Machines" will probe the nature of being a man in a world that is never as finite as we were told it would be … The man … the hero, immersed in a world of his own telling, attempts to understand the human condition through the past that defines him.

Will he be driven to madness at the repercussions of his journey, or will he find redemption?

MES Kindergarten Hallowe’en

Hallowe’en At The MES Kindergarten

Saturday, October 29, 2011

 

At their bi-weekly get-together on Saturday, October 29, 2011 the MES Kindergarten marked Hallowe’en with a dress-up party. The regular children were not in attendance. Rather various witches, hob-goblins, vampires, pirates, super heros and princesses showed up. Activities abounded for all and included pumpkin painting, cookie embelishment, drawing of Hallowe’en inspired pictures and various thematic games. Everyone had a roisterous time and left happily with a small goodie bag.

Hallowe’en Montreali Eesti Seltsi lasteaias

Hallowe’en Montreali Eesti Seltsi lasteaias

Laupäeval, 29. oktoobril toimus taaskord Eesti lasteaed Montrealis. Seekord ei tulnud kohale mitte tavalised lapsed vaid nõiad, võlur, nahkhiir, kõrvits, mereröövel, printsessid ja superkangelased. Toredat tegevust jagus küllaga: värvisime pintsliga kõrvitsaid, kaunistasime küpsiseid, värvisime Hallowe’eni teemalisi pildikesi, ja mängisime vihmavarju mängu. Kõik veetsid toredat aega ja lahkusid kodu poole väikse maiustustekotiga.

Trick or treat 🙂

Juba teist aastat järjest saavad väikesed huvilised õppida eesti keelt läbi loovtegevuse, laulude ja mängude. Sellel aastal oli kokku tulnud 10 last, kellest noorim oli vaid 3-nädalane. Koos lastega olid kohal ka nende vanemad, vanavanemad ja sugulased. Õpetajateks on Monika Dumbrille ja Agnes Laan.

Tore oli kokku saada, tutvuda uute inimestega, juua kohvi ja mängida koos lastega!

Lasteaed saab kokku igal teisel laupäeval Jaani kiriku ruumides (4345 Marcil Avenue, Montreal, Quebec, H4A 2Z9).
